Thursday Runaround – When Eagles Cry

AwardWatch: Bleeding Cool hinted at a bit of a blowup of the Eagle Awards in our Kapow coverage two weeks ago. The Awards were held last weekend (Bleeding Cool won one) but without organisers Mike Conroy and Cassandra Conroy, stalwarts of the British con scene. The awards became jointly owned by MCM and the Conroys a few years ago and now it appears to be going through a messy divorce.

In a press release, Cassandra stated "The Eagles are neither dead nor morphing into anything else. MCM Expo is in no position to announce, imply or indicate otherwise. In fact no third party can casually discard what my father has developed over the past 36 years. The Eagles will continue to soar into 2013 and beyond. We'll be announcing further details of our plans for next year in the near future."

It's the Kirbys all over again. Time to call out the lawyers.

"With digital, I can surprise you with every page turn."

They say I am a work in progress. The fools.

Bonfire Agency » What Would Batman Eat?

In a study conducted by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, researchers found that youngsters who are asked "What would Batman eat?" choose foods that are more healthful than children who don't consider the food choices of superheroes. But one question still remains.  Can even the Dark Knight convince them to pull up their jeans?

Anything Goes: Hey! I Wrote Another Book!

Trivia quizzes and my Answer Man sobriquet date back even further in DC Comics history… to 1976, when I convinced then-President Sol Harrison to let me create a weekly Daily Planet house ad to appear in the books. A faux newspaper that hyped events in the various titles, the Planet also included trivia quizzes, mini-puzzles, and, ultimately, Ask the Answer Man, where readers could have their questions about DC answered..
